Several people have suffered stab wounds from an attack carried out this Tuesday morning with a sword in Hainault, east London, as reported by the Police, who have confirmed the arrest of the alleged aggressor and have initially ruled out the terrorist hypothesis.
The first alerts went off shortly before 7:00 a.m. (local time) – one more in Spain – after a vehicle broke into private property. According to police, the 36-year-old suspect stabbed several people before going out into the street and attacking pedestrians and at least two security forces agents.
A police official, Ade Adelekan, has admitted “the impact and alarm” that this “terrible incident” may have generated, but has appealed for public calm. «We do not believe there are any more threats to the community. “We are not looking for more suspects,” he said in a statement.
Likewise, he clarified that “this incident does not appear to be related to terrorism,” although other details have not immediately emerged.
